How the right kitchen lighting can help you see what you've been missing

Not all light bulbs are created equal. Find out how using high-quality light bulbs in your kitchen can change the way you eat, cook and decorate.

Your kitchen is the heart of your home. It's where you create nourishing meals and gather with the ones you love. It's amazing how the right lighting can make everything you enjoy in this dynamic area easier and more beautiful.

Not all light bulbs are equal when it comes to delivering clear, high-quality light. Some give off a yellowish hue, even when they're supposed to cast a soft white glow. They can make everything in your kitchen—from wall colour to accessories to ingredients—appear less vibrant. Others take time to warm up to their full brightness, which leaves you and your loved ones in the shadows for a lot longer after you've flipped them on.

Here's a better option: GE reveal light bulbs create sunny, clear, natural-looking light. They boost your eyes' ability to distinguish between greens and reds, which allows you to perceive more vibrant colours overall. That means you'll see vivid details in high definition, and whites will seem cleaner and crisper.

Humans eat with their eyes first, so outfitting your kitchen with reveal light bulbs means selecting ingredients and sharing meals become more satisfying. You can look at berries and see their freshness reflected in bright reds, blues and purples. You can appreciate the crisp, bright green of leafy vegetables and savour every colourful bite of the dishes you love.

The bright, clean light from GE reveal bulbs also makes everyday cooking tasks easier. They come on at maximum brightness, without any waiting, and offer clarity that other bulbs don't. With them, you can see the exact moment when a skillet full of onions turns perfectly golden, signaling they're ready for the next step in your favourite recipe. You can observe the second that egg whites or cream are whipped to perfect peaks without worrying about overbeating them. GE reveal also out-powers other light bulbs when it comes to showing off details in your kitchen décor. Natural stone and wood surfaces come alive, revealing their beautiful, subtle textures and grain patterns. Wall colours look true and vibrant—never dingy or yellowish— and bright accents really pop. Normally dark walls and corners get a boost, too, so framed photos and display items make a statement. You'll be able to see what you've been missing in the most-used room of your house.

No matter what sort of look you want, GE reveal has solutions. With a wide assortment of sizes, styles and wattages, you can light your kitchen just the way you like it. Use dimmable, lower-wattage bulbs to create an intimate atmosphere around a table, and brighter bulbs for high-traffic areas and task lighting over work surfaces. With them, you can transform your kitchen from ordinary to extraordinary with just the flick of a switch.
